Hexamethylene diisocyanate (or more precisely 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate , systematically 1,6-diisocyanatohexane ) is a chemical compound from the group of aliphatic isocyanates . It is a colorless to yellowish, toxic liquid with a pungent odor.

Extraction and presentation

Hexamethylene diisocyanate can be obtained by reacting hexamethylene diamine with phosgene and then purifying it.

properties

Physical Properties

Hexamethylene diisocyanate vapors are six times as heavy as air.

Chemical properties

The compound can react violently to explosively with alcohols in the presence of bases if the dilution is insufficient.

Safety-related parameters

Hexamethylene diisocyanate forms flammable vapor-air mixtures at high temperatures. It has a flash point of 130 ° C. The explosion range is between 0.9% by volume (64 g / m 3 ) as the lower explosion limit (LEL) and 9.5% by volume (676 g / m 3 ) as the upper explosion limit (UEL). The ignition temperature is 400 ° C. The substance therefore falls into temperature class T2.

use

Hexamethylene diisocyanate is an essential raw material for polyurethane - lacquers . Almost the entire amount consumed in Germany is used for paint precursors for the automotive and furniture industries, such as B. HDI biuret , HDI isocyanurate and HDI uretdione are further processed.

safety instructions

If heated to a high temperature ( flash point 130 ° C), hexamethylene diisocyanate vapors can form an explosive mixture with air.

Monomeric isocyanates always have a certain vapor pressure , which means that reactive substances are in the gas phase. In addition to reactivity, there is also the possibility of inhaling isocyanates. To avoid this additional risk, isocyanates are oligomerized. Oligomerization here means the enlargement of the molecules. Larger molecules always have lower vapor pressures and thus reduce toxicity . Possible ways of oligomerization are, for. B. the reaction of 3 mol HDI with trimethylolpropane or the reaction of 3 mol HDI to form an HDI isocyanurate as mentioned above.
